A day at the hands-on museum with my kids
A Monday in cold January. My two boys have kindergarten free and I thus submitted a day off. The cold slowly moves from the feet further and further up and the boys already grumble because of the cold wind. We have to make ourselves on the way to the Experiminta Frankfurt [small note on the side: there are innumerable variants, as you can write Experimenta or Expirimenta or Experimenta – however, correctly is actually Experiminta!]
The entrance door opens automatically and my boys already think it’s „super cool“ – just to make a long story short: This will also be the first thing my little one will proudly tell his dad about the Experiminta Museum in the evening!
There are a total of 11 areas and stations distributed over four levels. This already shows how many experiments can be carried out and that you should bring quite a lot of time here.
Please do not touch – there is no such thing here. On the contrary, please touch, try and test! And preferably several times.
My quick check:
- Age recommendation: from 3 years
- Lots to research, experience and try out
- Small dishes for hunger
- Lockers for your belongings (bring 1 Euro coin)
- Easy to reach by streetcar
- Allow at least 3 hours and a break
Tip: On some days there are demonstrations, for this it is worth taking a look at the calendar of events on the Experiminta-Website.

Conclusion: Experiminta is worth seeing with children
The Experiminta Frankfurt is a special kind of hands-on museum for young and old. We spent a great day here from 10 am to 2 pm and will be back again. A great day with lots of highlights that the boys will have something to talk about for a long time.
Tip: It can get quite crowded when there are several groups and school classes on the road at the same time. It’s worth skipping rooms or floors and returning to them later. Then you don’t have to stand in line to experiment!
